Contrite hearts are always heard by God.

Contrite means sorrow: to mourn due to sin in our lives.
  Shouldn’t we all be contrite when we know we need to confess our sins in prayer to God?

Psalm 51:17 Paraphrased prayer

  Lord, God of the Bible, Your word is truth.  You know all about me.  I come to give to You the sacrifice of a broken spirit.  You are right when You pinpoint a sin in my life which I need to ask You for forgiveness.  You are pleased when I confess my sin to You.

  You, O God, know my sins and my brokenness and contrite heart.  In fact You promise not to despise me when I tell you about my sin and ask Your forgiveness.

  Thank You!  Thank You for Your Son’s sacrifice on the cross so I can be forgiven of this sin.
  In the name of Jesus I pray, Amen!
